Happy Halloween!!! Can you believe it's Halloween? Not sure where this year went.

Five Monday's in October brings us a bonus Secret Recipe Club reveal. I am a bit sad as I write this, Secret Recipe Club is going away. This will be my second to the last post. November will be our last posts. I've been a member since the beginning and it's been such a fun group. Sad to see it end. Do you have a fun group you're a member of? I'm looking for a new one of two to join.

For this month, I was assigned Pale Yellow. Tracy, the blogger behind Pale Yellow describes herself as, "Informal science educator/curriculum specialist by day, baking blogger by night, former Michigander, current Rockaway Girl". I really like why Tracy says she blogs, "In defining what this is blog is, it was effortless to describe what the blog is not: I am not a recipe developer, I am not a baker for hire (although if you ask me nicely, I do take orders), I am not here to quit my day job, and I am not here for shameless self promotion." Very similar reasons to why I blog, although I would like to quit my day job.

With the theme of this reveal being fall, around here nothing says fall like apples. Tim went with our friend, Lynn the landscaper, to pick apples. I'm guessing he came home with 20 pounds? I was drawn to Tracy's recipe for Caramel Apple Crumb Muffins, a perfect combination of fall flavors.

My muffins didn't exactly turn out like muffins, they were more like a gooey cake. Absolutely delicious! Trying to figure out where I messed up and I'm just not sure. I knew the batter going into the pan was way too liquid. Rather than adjust it, I decided to go with it and I'm glad I did.
